“Nothing personal, we just have a simple dissagreement here...”
Not taken personal - if anything, I deserve some incoming. The reason that I post like I do is to try to impress upon people that they have virtually zero control over public schools. The schools are controlled by left-wing fascists (yes, even your ‘wonderful’ public schools) answer to government, who answers to special interests. The idea that a single parent, or any size group of parents, can directly change how the schools operate is simply insanity. The only hope in that direction, if there is any at all, is through the political process - basically electing enough conservatives to take over control. But that is a very long process and not at all likely to be successful.
...so when these things happen, parents should NOT be surprised - they should just understand that is the price of having a ‘free’ education for their kids.
You are right...The only problem is it is not “free”...
And the product we are getting out of that cost ain’t worth a nickle when we get it back and have to pay to send them off to the “higher levels” of academia for that goatskin we’ll have to buy...
It’s been a lose/lose situation for way too long in this country...Like a lot of things the liberal progressives have gotten their hands on...
